I’m sure a lot of my students will relate to this !

Doubt is the thief or happiness in dressage.

Not because it prevents progress completely—
but because it quietly steals the ability to enjoy the progress that is already happening.

A doubtful rider rarely sees themselves clearly.

Instead of seeing growth, they see flaws.
Instead of recognizing courage, they focus on shortcomings.
Instead of appreciating the horse they have today, they mourn the rider they think they should already be.

And that mindset creates havoc.

Because doubt steals decisiveness—the very thing horses crave from us.

Instead of doubting, seeing the worst in yourself, try finding and honoring the peace that comes from letting go a little. Lower the expectations you put on yourself and remember why you started this journey in the first place...

With love, from a recovering doubter!!! I believe in YOU

Retraining the OTTB is a lengthy process and one we take a great deal of joy in doing, today it was the first day out post racing for Taking the Mikki aka Mikki. We took him down to a casual local obstacle day and couldn’t be happier with how he went 🥰 he was most definitely out of his comfort zone and unsure of what he was supposed to be doing but he took it all in his stride, relaxed, coped with lots of things going on around him 😅 We hope this guy will turn out to be something really special and hope his journey from racing to performance horse is a smooth one! I am sure that a lot of the credit goes to his previous owners and trainers for including dressage work while he was still racing into his program has made all the difference. We were lucky enough to get him a couple of times while he was still racing with Sally Taylor to know what he was like and already install some of the basics, certainly makes for a much smoother transition to the next career for him 😊
